New robotic glove aims to restore hand movement after stroke
NCT ID NCT04436042
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a device called MyHand 2 that helps people who have had a stroke use their affected hand better. The device is worn on the hand and assists with movement. Researchers want to see if it is easy to use and helpful for daily tasks. The study involves 60 adults who had a stroke at least six months ago and have hand weakness.
